Bruichladdich Octomore 15.1 Cask Strength Single Malt 700ML
The latest tranche of Octomore has arrived and is expected to be in high demand. Famous as the world's peatiest whisky, production makes up just 5% of Bruichladdich's output which explains why some expressions sell out fast. If you're new to the label, one aspect of Octomore's branding can be confusing. For each annual release, the first number stands for the series. We're up to number 15. The digit after the decimal point is where it gets complicated. ".1" signifies maturation in ex-bourbon casks. It's Octomore 'naked', so to speak, with no fancy wood treatment. ".2" is a broader classification that focuses on European oak. These casks could have previously held anything from red wine to sherry or even cognac. Finally, ".3’s" are distilled from 100% Islay barley rather than barley that might have been shipped from the mainland. American oak and European oak are used, with the formula changing for each release.
